posterity and the future. When 1 hear
men talk of seeding from the orgsnlza-
ton with the threat of starting an i'm
proved order, fancy they know but lit
tie of the trials, dangers and odds against
which they will have to contend, and l
feel that the amount of energy necessary
TO build up new order, if properly ap-
piled TO the old one, would
make it invlncible. Il is true that
in the old order all who aspire
cannot be officers, all who pull wires can
not succeed in getting positions; and it is
equally true if they secede, aud if they
succeed in building up q new order they
only make it possible for other men to
pull wires and aspire to places which they
hope to secure for themselves. II in the
new order they succeed other than in the
old and secure offices, they do so only to
ind at their elbows men who, like them
selves, will stop at nothing mean or low
to compass their ends"

COAL.
The advance of % cents per ton for
anthracite coal, based on higher railway
tolls, went into effect on Monday last.
1t will not be lost sight of that he lead
ing railway coal-csrrying companies are
substantially identical with the dominat-
ing mining companies. There is in
reality no scarcity of coal. Buyers de-
leyed their orders till late this autumn,
and are now rushing in demands within
one or two months which might have
been placed earlier in the year. The de-.
mand east and west is particularly heavy,
and from the south is notably large. The
Reading Company declines to accept Or
ders for coal except for delivery when the
same is mined, and at prices ruling at
the time of delivery-Which speaks vol
umes for the condition Of the coal trade.
1t is to be regretted that no settlement
has yet been effected With the 20, 1000 re-
naming strikers in the Lehigh region, as
they and the business interests generally
in that locality are suffering wing to the
check to mining Brsdstreet's.

That tins same tale he told before,
And bid him tell it nevermore.

To NE doth often sadly swear
That business to the dogs must 20,
If prices keep so very low:
That things look darklv blue and drear
And says, "Oh, shoot the glaI New Year."
